Rearview System Braking problems of the 2025 BMW X5

My cross traffic warning system is inoperative. Dealer said the sensors are operating normally. This is a safety hazard.

The rear cross traffic alert on this vehicle either does not work at all or, when it does work, it is ineffective in warning the driver. I brought the vehicle into my BMW dealer and they told me that it is operating as intended. In most cases, when backing out of a parking space or my driveway, I get no warning at all. In some cases, I did get some faint warning that was not obvious enough to actually get my attention. Many times, when I was backing up, I almost was hit by a passing car because I expected to get a warning and did not. There is a very large number of complaints about this problem on the internet. Unfortunately, I did not see these complaints before buying the vehicle. Had I known that this safety feature was ineffective in what it was designed to do, I would not have bought the vehicle. I am actually considering selling vehicle after only 7 months of ownership and taking a loss as a result of this problem. If there is a loss to be taken, it should be by BMW not me as the consumer. I believe that BMW has committed fraud with respect to rear cross traffic alert. They falsely represent that the vehicle has rear cross traffic alert which is a material fact known by them to be false. Buyers, to their own detriment, rely on this false representation in deciding to buy the vehicle. The buyer is not getting an important safety feature that they paid for and the absence of the safety feature puts them at risk of a collision.
